The fact that Jeffries, the Dem leader in the house, hasn't endorsed Mamdani, the overwhelming Dem nomination for NYC mayor by trouncing Cuomo, is exactly why so many people stopped caring about HJ. We're in a national political crisis but free buses is communism...

Gosh forbid we make it easier for low-income people to have more money to spend on other essentials. Not to mention many other things very right with his proposals.

Exactly- once you stop incorrectly labeling it, ZMs policies are as popular as Trumps are not. And right now Trump is way closer to what people fear about communism

Trump's popularity is not about policy.

Indeed but his popularity has empowered him to ignore rules, laws and procedures that Dems are still binding themselves to

True. But it may be too late. Schumer let McConnell pistol whip him for years.

Schumer needs to stand down for sure. There are plenty of (well a few) Dem senators with more fight in them.

He endorsed Wiley and it did nothing but divide. Stay out.

In a three-way race why would he endorse? Stay out.

In my opinion, endorsing would make a statement that he and other Dems "staying out of it" are sick of people like Adams and Cuomo being in politics. And endorse the candidate who is the Dem running and is nothing morally like DJT.

The other two are running as Independents that’s why.

I would rather he encourage them to drop out. Better than an endorsement. Buts them in position of defying Democratic leader. We know Jeffries doesn't like Adams.
